Guide to Old Zakanese: A Dialect of Twoyearold

Old Zakanese, a dialect of Twoyearold, is spoken mainly in the Stefanisko household. It is a complex language consisting of nouns; adjectives; verbs, some of which are nonverbal; and exclamations, which often represent entire dissertations in a single word. Regular, pluralizable nouns are made plural by adding the "um" suffix. Irregular and non-pluralizable nouns are often unchanged in the plural form, if one exists, although certain nouns are simply repeated to indicate pluralization. Old Zakanese makes use of adjectives to modify nouns. Adjectives always immediately precede the noun they modify. The dialect also makes use of verbs to form basic noun-verb-object sentences, although a single verb is perfectly acceptable, and a standalone noun implies the nonverbalized "do" verb, often called "NOW!" Old Zakanese also makes use of verbalized punctuation. The interrogative is formed by a tonal uplift at the end of a sentence, and the exclamation "oh" is used at the beginning of a sentence to indicate the surprise or importance usually associated with the exclamation mark.
